Yesterday the weather forecast said rain for today but it seems now the forecast has changed and storms tomorrow instead! Our walk was in the sun!

My Deal for the Day (only on offer today!) see link. We have one of these to have the photos so that we can see them all the time. Another good one see link.

I do it every year…I seem to have it fixed in my head that my car tax runs out the end of December. No it doesn’t, it ran out the end of November. Oh dear. As soon as I realised this morning, Mal and I headed off to Girne with all our documentation to renew it. It’s not quite the same as in the UK as no one here displays their tax disc and even if you did the sun would fade it in 5 minutes.

In and out of the tax office in a very short time. The total we paid 56.57tl!! That’s £19.62 at today’s rate. A couple of kurus of that was the fine! As my sister said when I spoke to her, it wouldn’t even buy you a quarter of a tank of petrol in the UK!  There are some benefits of having an old car.  A bit of bargain hunting on the way back home and we bought Cyprus Today see link. Not a lot of news, more about the (I quote) “The senseless census as many uncounted.”  We did find Christmas puddings in Lemar see link. We bought an M and S one back from the UK!

The rain did arrive after all, about 3.00pm and it was quite heavy.

Oh dear, Manchester United are out of the Champions!
